The news of Dudley's passing is truly sad. I was looking forward to picking up a conversation we had in 2000 at the Kentucky Museum. I had recently been out to see the museum at the Jerry Baker's home. Everyone was so excited about it...including Dudley.
He will be missed and my hope is that we cherish all that he has left us.
